printing

[KINGSLEY_1]

Hi Bosses!

We are facing a problem with printing on our hp-ux 11.23. The spooler, scheduler are all running but we cannot print to any of our network printers.

Any help?

Thank you

Can you ping the name and IP of the network printers?

3. Add the printer

Have a good luck,

What does lpstat show for your printers?

Are they connect to remove or to network printers?
